My family owns a subaru and a honda. I've had to bring each of them in (the subaru, twice) for recalls that could have been fixed with OTA patches had the manufacturers been so prepared. So I can't sign onto your "we aren't inundated" assertion. Before I got rid of it in favor of the Subaru, my BMW had its key fob hacked, but the manufacturer opted not to recall it for a fix, in the US at least. I think similar models had gotten different treatment in Europe. I could only speculate as to why the Tesla hack that's fixable OTA gets so much more attention than these others that apply to larger numbers of cars, but I have no inside knowledge and have done no study that would make my speculation on that front any more reliable than yours. Whatever the reason is, it's not because the hacks aren't there, or because it takes something less than a recall to fix them. Why do you think it is?
